You're getting a lot of useful feedback here. I've heard tube amps but only owned solid state, a bipolar and a mosfet. Honestly, I didn't hear similarities. If I were on this hunt I would take the feedback from here and go do a lot of auditioning.
Which SS amps sound like a tube amp?
I'm doing research to find a new amp to replace my Parasound HCA 3500. I'd like the tubey midrange but the virtues of SS in the bass. Biamping is not an option as my rack is quite full. I need at least 200 wpc and want to spend less than 2k used. I'm driving VMPS Supertower/R SE's. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
